Yes, that's my mother! She is definitely one of the nicest ladies ever to live. Many people were able to share that with her on April 18 (even though her actual birthday is on the 14th) when we celebrated my Mom's 60th birthday. Since it was a milestone birthday we decided to have an Open House type celebration and invite lots of friends and family. I think everyone enjoyed themselves because they ended up staying pretty much the whole time (we had the party planned from 2-4pm).
My aunts and uncles helped me put together the party. They each contributed an appetizer and also helped set up and clean up afterward. I am so appreciative for all their help! We had a wonderful spread of food...
Everyone sat around and chatted for a while and ate. It was so good to see so many people. Since we live far away we don't usually get to see everyone so having a party is a great way to see lots of people!
After eating we had a time of sharing. Whoever wanted to could share something about my Mom with everyone else. Of course, everyone had nothing but nice things to say. They all spoke of her gentleness and listening ear. Yes, if you need someone to just listen to you talk, my Mom is great at that!
Of course, no post is complete without a picture of Elena!And after the sharing time we prayed for Mom, sang Happy Birthday and ate the cake together.
God has been faithful in her life and we pray that He will continue to show Himself to you, Mom!
